📺 Continuing Netflix’s streak of excellence in mystery and crime, His &Hers is a gripping tale so compelling we binge-watched it in a single day. The six-episode limited series is inspired by British author Alice Feeney’s eponymous novel, and revolves around a murder that unravels a web of dark secrets.

Anna (Tessa Thompson) is a journalist and news anchor grappling with depression and living in profound isolation. She breaks her solitude only to return to her hometown to cover and investigate the gruesome murder of a former classmate. Determined to crack the complex case as a journalist, she crosses paths with her estranged husband, detective Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal), whose relationship with Anna is fractured due to a painful, tragic loss.

The series creates an atmosphere thick with tension and ambiguity. As the search for the killer begins, everyone — without exception — is a suspect. Amid a lack of trust and crumbling relationships, the truth becomes a matter of perspective, and a series of lies and secrets emerges that will forever upend the lives of Anna, Jack, and everyone connected to them.

His & Hers delivers exactly what it promises, thrills and suspense driven by a convincing plot and meticulously crafted performances. The pace strikes the perfect balance between a brisk tempo and a steady, thoughtful exploration of the past and present. Themes of childhood trauma unfold, giving each character distinct motives and internal conflicts, and adding human depth and value that transcend the typical “whodunit” mystery.
